                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Clear skies, good to moderate seeing, no problems.
 2nd Half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Clear skies, hihly variable seeing, borderline wind and dust.
 APOLLO went smoothly, lens observations were complicated by the
 variable seeing but otherwise successful.  One bad readout with
 spicam.  Wind went solidly over the limit just before twilight.

     used is north=0 degrees, east=90 degrees.  The dust count is
     particles > 1u per 0.1 cubic feet.
